JOBLINGE—Joining Forces to Address Youth Unemployment Introduction
May 2014
A jointgemeinsame initiative of The Boston Group and theGroup Eberhard Kuenheimvon Foundation of Stiftung BMW AG Eine Initiative vonConsulting The Boston Consulting und von der Eberhard Kuenheim der BMW AG
Currently, 600,000 youths have not yet found jobs after secondary school … • 50% of students in lower secondary school still do not have a training position one year after completing school • 300,000 youths are in the "transition system" between school and training1
From school straight to social welfare? • Less than 20% of underprivileged youth make the transition into training • 1 in 6 fears long-term unemployment
Demographic change and lack of skilled workers do not solve the problem of these youth! 1. As of the end of 2011 Source: "Education in Germany 2012" Authoring Group Educational Reporting, 2012, statistics from the Federal Employment Agency; Bertelsmann Foundation

JOBLINGE changes youths' lives What do participants say about JOBLINGE?
Affirmation and self-confidence
"My mother was very sick over the past years, and I spent most of my time looking after her, so I didn't have much time for school, homework, or friends. She passed away last year. I applied for many jobs, but I only got rejections. When I wanted to give up entirely, my mentor and the people at JOBLINGE believed in me. Now I am doing an apprenticeship in warehouse logistics, and I'm definitely going through with it!"
Susanne, 21, German
Practice and individual support
"Three years ago my family and I arrived here in Germany. I couldn't speak German at all at the time, and couldn't be bothered about school. I was sent to a youth home and I often had to deal with the police. At JOBLINGE, my friends and I started working right away. I realized that I am good at something after all! That's why I got my internship and now I'm doing an apprenticeship as a retail salesman. When things don't work there, I know JOBLINGE will still be there to help me." Piotr, 17, Russian
